Risky selfies killed 259 people in 6 years, report says

According to Mashable, drowning (70 deaths) and falling (48 deaths) were the top contributors to the selfie mortality rate. Most of the victims were men (about 72%) and under the age of 30.

The idea of "no-selfie zones" has emerged in an effort to decrease the amount of selfie-related deaths. Risky behaviour caused more deaths and incidents due to selfies than non-risky behaviour. Selfie death count for India: 159 which is more than half of the rest of the world combined. It was also noted that even though women take more selfies than men, men tend to take many risks like standing at a cliff or during some adventurous stunt.

While these may have been peculiarities of the Russian macho psyche to constantly prove your bravery (or idiocy, if you ask the parents), and the Russian authorities have been warning about such stunts for a while now, the trend still quickly caught on, leading to more and more risky undertakings. Drowning was the most common cause of death, such as when someone got washed away by waves on a beach or when a boat capsized while the person tried to take a selfie.
